Putting the ‘social’ into Social Network

The Computer Science department sponsored an outing to Hollywood Palms Cinema on Wednesday night to see The Social Network. Students, alumni, and USF staff got together to enjoy the movie and a chance to unwind, midweek. Some of us took the van provided by Student Life (thanks to Dominique Annis, USF Student Life) and some of us meet up at the theatre.

Naturally, since it was a movie about Mark Zuckerberg, we had a Facebook event created for the movie within our Computer Science at the University of St. Francis group. Thanks to Nick Zelinskli, Computer Science senior, for setting up a sign-up sheet for the van and promoting the movie event to others in the department.

Here are a couple of links if you’re not familiar with the movie, The Social Network, www.thesocialnetwork-movie.com or the Hollywood Palms Cinema www.hollywoodpalmscinema.com.

The consensus was that is was a good movie, kicked off a lot of conversation afterwards, and a great time. Some of our attendees were new to the venue and really liked the chairs & tables, having food and drink served during the movie.

A special thank you to John, our van driver for getting us there on time and safely home again. You made it a very enjoyable trip.

Thanks to the students, alumni, and staff who made this event successful. Everyone agrees another road trip is in our future.
